GOOD NEWS!  GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES IS MEDICINAL!

Welsh poet Gwyneth Lewis, a former visiting fellow at the Stanford Humanities Center, was delighted to hear of the “Another Look” choice.  The author of Sunbathing in the Rain: A Cheerful Book About Depression  claimed the book helped bring about better spirits.  Here’s what she wrote:

“Anita Loos’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (and its sequel But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes) is a natural antidote to gloom, lassitude and should be part of the long-term treatment of depression. It is a diamond in itself – with properties of intelligence, style and wit of the hardest substance known the man. The novel’s joie de vivre is as far from censoriousness as it’s possible to be, giving us a glimpse of a mind so liberated and unsolemn that it’s certainly therapeutic.”
